Bird Language and Birding by Ear with Jaybird
May 19 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
$32.00 - $52.00
In this class we will demystify the language and behavior of the birds, understand how birds can extend your awareness and deepen your connection with nature. We’ll learn the 5 voices of the birds, the shapes of alarm and what they tell you, and which birds to focus on learning first. We’ll also dig into the nuances of birding by ear, by learning bird groups, where to find common birds, mnemonics, and how to start identifying birds by their song.
